Kim's Shopping Trip 09'

Okay I admit this post "seems" a little long but like most of my posts it should be an easy read! LOL!

First off let me tell you that I don't like clothes shopping. This is the first "real" shopping I've done for myself in a very very long time and my closet will vouch for it in every way! Like I said before, I gravitate toward solid colors and if I like something I will buy it in at least 3 different colors!
But the other day I recruited 2 of my friends to drag me out of my hum drum comfort zone. The first half of the day started out with my friend Laura but neither one of us brought a camera so we don't have any pictures of that "experience"! But she was grabbing things left and right as I would slowly wonder off toward the solid colored shirt section. (Say that 10X fast!) She had to keep pulling me back and I finally gave in and tried a bunch of things on that I normally wouldn't. And I actually liked a few things and ended up getting them. She unfortunately couldn't finish the day with me so I then recruited my friend Kathy, who DID bring a camera, to finish the home stretch. Posting what I got would be boring but posting what I DIDN'T get will be fun!

First of all this sign caught my eye and made me laugh! I want to know what exactly IS an Active Bottom? And do I want one?

There was this number here that I really had a hard time understanding WHY they wasted so much pretty blue material on. (you may have to zoom in on the dress to fully appreciate)
Prom? Pajama's? After this picture was taken I was trying to get this off from around my neck and it and the hanger got stuck in my hair and I couldn't get it out. Kathy had to help me! That would have been a good picture!
Okay I know. NOT a very flattering picture of me, but I liked this skirt and then saw the price tag!! Yeah if you can't read it it says $100.00!! Are you kidding me? I could totally buy me some fabric and a pattern and so let it sit there and NEVER make my own skirt for a lot less!
Kathy and I actually put this little ensemble together and left it on the rack like the store might have done it. We walked out laughing hysterically and then decided that we really needed a picture of it and went back in and took this picture. Partridge Family anyone?
This nice yellow and black checkered thing sure caught my eye. Not only would it NEVER cover my backside but it's yellow and black checkered! Enough said!Now we took tons of picture of clothes I didn't buy and or wouldn't be caught dead in but really all you have to do is go in ANY department store and you too can see all the UGLY clothes for your self.

But as you can see I did manage to find something and I thank my personal fashion consultants for helping me out so much!
Okay okay! As women I know you really want to see a few things that I did buy so I won't let you down.
No I'm not going to model them for you! LOL.
Are you still with me? Do you want more? Cause there is more. But you have to go see Kathy's blog for the lunch time post!
Love you my friends and thank you for caring a lick about what clothes I didn't buy!
HUGS!
